Como chiefs give up seats to elderly fans for Champions League debut

Como president Mirwan Suwarso and several club directors are surrendering their match tickets so elderly supporters can attend the team’s Champions League debut. The move will see officials forgo their own places to free seats for older fans at the historic fixture. BBC Sport reported the decision, which was framed as a gesture to ensure long-time supporters can witness the club’s first appearance in the competition. Club leaders are prioritising fans’ access to the match by reallocating their tickets rather than using them themselves. The action removes barriers for older followers who might otherwise miss the game and delivers direct access to a major event in the club’s history.
